Pep occasionally tinkers with his squad in 'unimaginable' ways. Does anybody think there's a possibility of him benching Haaland and playing without a no. 9?
Drastic results call for drastic measures, and considering that I just reshuffled my team to be able to fit Haaland in, it would be a really funny thing to see
Brave move. I think Haaland plays 100%. They are on their lowest point under Pep ever and he isn't gonna remove his best goal scorer just for fun. His second best goal scorer is Gvardiol so it isn't like he has some gems in form to try out against weaker opposition.Drastic results call for drastic measures, and considering that I just reshuffled my team to be able to fit Haaland in, it would be a really funny thing to see
I am curious to see how many people in the pool gave their trust to City assets for this run of fixtures. I briefly considered Foden and Haaland, decided they are too expensive for what they are producing. Gvardiol is probably worth it its price tag but my defense is already super strong and I didn't need another expensive player there.
I really would have loved to have City assets for their run of fixtures If had the right amount of transfers to fit them in, but I wouldn't do anything crazy to get them, neither would consider a triple asset from them, I would just go with assets that could have decent impact if they find their groove, and little negative impact if they still struggle. My choice would have been Gvardiol and Rico Lewis/Akanji... I still won't touch Haaland because of how much budget he command.

I decided to go with Bruno Fernandes for Saka in my team because he's a better long term should-have imo, I don't want to start tinkering between different choices week in week out, and would rather focus the my future transfers towards other part (more likely defense) of my squad.
